Hi forum friends


In a dilemma for 2018 P1 registration.

Would you rec that I register my only child, a Catholic dragon boy in Catholic High (<1KM) from residence?

Or move to <1KM of SJIJ and hope for higher chances there.

We really prefer a Catholic boys school.

Thanks for any advice.

Since u’re Catholic & living <1km shld go for Catholic Hogh then try to move & may not get in (waste effort moving). IMO, Catholic High is better learning environment & std. others may hv differing opinion.

I agree with Esteema. You are already blessed to be under phase 2B and <1km of Catholic High. Just go for balloting. If fail, you can still go for balloting again at phase 2C. If fail, you can go for St Gabriel’s at phase 2C(S), which may or may not have balloting this year. If still balloted out, you can request MOE to give you a place in Monfort Junior before phase 3 is thrown open to foreigners.

Thank you Esteema and Zac's mum.

Less panicky now but still hoping for the best outcome.

Hello everyone,


Can I check if there are any Catholic co-ed primary schools? Most of the Catholic schools that I know of are single sex school.

Canossa Catholic Primary School at MacPherson area. It's currently called Canossian Convent Pri Sch now but will go co-ed in 2019. They have a new P (she was the P of SACPS and had raised the standards and quality of the sch when she was there)

The 4 primary Co-ed Catholic primary schools in Singapore you are looking at, are :-

Holy Innocent primary,

St Anthony primary,

De Iaselle primary,

Canossa Catholic primary
(from next year 2019 onwards, then start turning into co-ed)

Apart from above, the rest of the Catholic primary schools, are either \"All Boys\" primary, Or \"All Girls\" primary schools.
